| - Pretty disappointing. Been to Centro a few times, liked it. Was pretty excited to try the new venture, knowing it was a departure from the previous place. I'll not comment on the service - it's new and they're working out kinks. No problem. It was friendly but not great.
The food, simply put, was a let down. Maybe our expectations were too high. My guest and I had a salad and the prosciutto with compressed melon to start. Both were reasonable. The prosciutto came with two over-sized croutons that just didn't belong on the plate. The just had no business being there.
For mains we had the Toscana (pasta with sausage and rapini and chilies) and whatever the one with speck and peas is called. Again, both were reasonable but really unremarkable. I was also bummed that the menu on their Facebook page claims they offer Carbonara but it wasn't on the menu. I'm a big Carbonara aficionado.
We'd hoped to be impressed - possibly wowed, but it was really pretty "meh". To be honest, given the price point, I'll go somewhere like Grazie for 2/3 the cost.
I'll likely try it again for dinner in a few months but, I don't know, just underwhelmed. My guest was more disappointed than I was, but isn't the reviewing type.
